Afternoon “B” team Skipper Derek Thomas, despite a brilliant 21-05 victory for himself, was left rueing the continual disruption of his team selection by call ups to the “A” team again, when his team went down to a narrow 8 shot loss on a super quick Greasby green yesterday. With four winners, two 19-21’s and a 20-21 Derek was left bemoaning the poor start made by his team with the first five blocks losing ones for the Vics. “Dynamo” Dave Leonard finally “charged” his way to a first (of many we hope) league wins for the Vics with a determined display in a narrow but more comfortable victory than the 21-20 scoreline might suggest. With Keith “The Enforcer” Etches producing another fine display in an easy 21-10 win and Peter Walker bringing up the rear with a hard fought 21-19 victory, the Vics early losers proved crucial on another frustrating day for the Skipper. These narrow away defeats could easily have been victories with a bit more luck and the proper side fielded but that is life, with the “A” team gaining preference in team selection.

The afternoon “C” team made the short trip to Heswall RBL “B” yesterday and returned home well and truly thumped by 73 shots. To be fair to Brian Buck and his team further inroads into team selection by the “B” team left the “C” team struggling to raise their normal side. With only one winner however in John Brandon’s excellent 21-14 victory the Vics were never in with a chance on the excellent Heswall green. 18-21 displays by Reg Armitage and Harry Preston were the closest the Vics got to another win and a big task awaits Brian and his merry men in the return at West Kirby next week.

The Vics Wallasey League side easily defeated Queens Royal “B” away on Tuesday but even with nine away winners, Skipper Mally Johnson was last seen wandering along New Brighton promenade moaning about 3 losers and the loss of four and a half valuable individual points. Billy Atkinson 21-02, Karl Sherbrooke 21-05 and Dave Gilmore were the big players for the Vics in a reasonably one sided affair. Two 21-10 wins for the Fitzpatrick brothers, Jamie and Robby, pressed home the Vics advantage and Neil Sherbrooke 21-12 and Anthony Thompson 21-13 both had comfortable victories. Robby Franklin 21-15 and John Lloyd 21-18 were both made to work hard for their wins but I think Mally was close to tears when a clean sweep of winners didn’t come the Vics way. He is on the verge again on Thursday when five of his star players will be missing in the home fixture against Quarry Vikings, I just hope the lifeboat is around if the Vics don’t win 12 out of 12 games.
